History[]

DWKB-FM era: 1975-1989[]

89.1 transmitter of IBC in Quezon City. — The transmitter of IBC in San Francisco del Monte, Quezon City.

Initially known as DWKB-FM (KB 89.1), owned and operated by the Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation, as the radio network arm first aired in February 1975 and in a short time, became one of the country's most listened to easy listening FM music stations. As a conglomeration of easy listening and variety hits, the first station studios initially located at P. Guevarra Street, San Juan City, Metro Manila (where the studios of IBC was located).

Ricky Dizon was the station manager of DWKB 89.1. The other radio personalities of KB 89.1 included Peter Rabbit (the current voice-over of ABS-CBN as he work for the Kapamilya Network), the late Bingo Lacson (the station's voice-over), Long Tall Howard (Howard Medina) and Vic Salta. Salta covered the 9 pm-12 mn shift and became popular among the teens back in the 80's as he would showcase "popularity battles" among the top bands back then - more notably Duran Duran vs. Spandau Ballet rivaly played on air practically nightly.

It was in July 1978 that the station was transferred to its studios at the new home in Broadcast City in Capitol Hills, Diliman, Quezon City, Metro Manila from the former studios in P. Guevarra Street, San Juan City, Metro Manila. In 1986, Dizon was replaced by Ireneo Panganiban as assistant general manager of IBC and Francisco N. Villanueva as the assistant manager for operations and programming director of IBC and the station manager of DWKB 89.1. The station was operated 19 hours a day, from 5 am to 12 mn, with the power of 25,000 watts from transmitter located at San Francisco del Monte, Quezon City.

On November 4, 1989, KB eventually was reformatted into 89 DMZ as an all-dance radio station that featured non-stop dance music launched in November 18, 1989.

**The first 89 DMZ era: 1989-February 28, 2001**[]

In November 18, 1989, the station later reformatted and changed its callsign to DZMZ-FM and rebranded as 89 DMZ (Danze Music Zone), which plays dance music, hip hop and remixed music. The station is a brainchild of Bingo Lacson, the radio station manager of IBC as the big boss and the DJs are Peewee, Chinaman, The Unbeatable, The Mouth, The Shadow and The Bug. The late rapper, Francis Magalona, worked with the station through his program The Word-Up Show, which aired on Saturday nights. It also became the home of the Mobile Circuit every Friday night. Back then, the station was operated 18 hours a day, from 6 am to 12 mn. Since then, 89 DMZ became famous as The Nation's #1 Danze Music Station as the original slogan.

On November 18, 1992, 89 DMZ celebrated its 3rd anniversary with the live concert Birthday Party Party III at the Heartbeat Mega Disco in Quezon City on November 22, 1992.

On November 18, 1999, 89 DMZ celebrated its 10th anniversary with the live concert 89 DMZ-X at the Cuneta Astrodome in Pasay City as the party of the new millennium, with a delayed broadcast on IBC on Saturday, November 20, 1999 from 9-11pm.

In May 30, 2000, IBC aired the TV version of 89 DMZ, which teamed up to launch and produce the 1-hour weekly interactive MTV-style music variety show called DMZ TV (more than just videos), aired every Tuesday night at 8-9pm on IBC as a hook-up with 89 DMZ and hosted by Lara Fabregas and Medwin Marfil of True Faith with co-hosts are the newcomers Rengie Galvez, JC Castro, Tone Wijangco and Celine Hoffman airing live at the Live Studio 2 of Broadcast City where the jocks of 89 DMZ can now be seen on TV for their spiels, along with music videos, performers, dancers, club DJs and live bands.

The end of the first 89 DMZ[]

In February 18, 2001, IBC and Blockbuster Broadcasting System, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Quest Broadcasting Inc. through The Radio Partners, went into a government-sponsored bidding as IBC's FM station, 89 DMZ, was successfully taken by the group of Joe D'Mango after about the planned sale of RPN and IBC to the private sector in 1990 as the government auction block in a sale was held in 2000 and the Vera Group, through Blockbuster Broadcasting System, won the rights to the frequency and the facilities as Wave 891 (callsign changed to DWAV). However, the network still shares its transmission facilities of IBC 13 until 2014 when it began transmitting from Antipolo.

Wave 89.1 era: 2001-2011[]

Wave 89.1 began regular operations shortly on March 1, 2001. Managed by former Magic 89.9 jock Rolando Sulit a.k.a. Joe D'Mango, the station began its operations with an Urban AC format. Some months later, its programming gradually shifted to full pop R&B.

In 2007, Gary Caoili took over the management of the station after Sulit departed his management duties for both Wave and sister station Jam 88.3. A year later, after the demise of Blazin' 105.9, the station shifted to Urban Contemporary, as it started playing more Hip Hop and R&B.

Profile[]

The station began in the summer of '89. During the waning months of DWKB's existence, the need for change became an eventuality. Despite protests from all angles, the late Bingo Lacson, the radio operations manager of IBC, decided to go against the grain. On June 1989, the formation of the new staff began. The pioneering DJs were Francis Magalona, The Shadow, Peewee, Bug, Chinaman and The Unbeatable. It took five months of sourcing and brainstorming and on November 1, 1989, the need to test the waters arrived. It was a success. For 14 years, Metro Manila was enjoying the music of this radio station occupying the frequency of the defunct KB 89. Finally, on November 18, 1989, 89 DMZ was born and went on air.

89 DMZ is the FM radio station of IBC, that caters to the 15 to 40 age bracket. The essence of DMZ's dance music menu is a non-stop mix of club hits, techno hits, reggae, house and slow jams, encompassing such diverse musical styles like disco, ballroom, swing, new wave, hip hop, K-pop and rock; not to mention the contemporary OPM hits of our local artists in our Pinoy Tugtugan.
